An Analytical Exploration of the Driving Mechanisms and Policy Synergy for Promoting High-Quality and Comprehensive Employment via Ecological Revitalization in Rural County-Level Regions of Gansu Province

This paper focuses on county-level research in Gansu Province, exploring the intrinsic connection and synergistic mechanisms between rural ecological revitalisation and high-quality full employment. By constructing a functional coordination theoretical framework, it analyses the multi-dimensional driving mechanisms through which ecological revitalisation empowers employment, covering aspects such as industrial integration, policy coordination, and stakeholder participation. Based on empirical data from 86 county-level units in Gansu Province, the paper employs a coupling coordination degree model method to reveal the spatio-temporal characteristics of ecological- employment synergistic development. The study suggests that Gansu Province can adopt a dual-drive approach combining ecological industrialisation and industrial ecologicalisation to improve its policy coordination system, stimulate the participation of diverse stakeholders, and leverage ecological revitalisation to enhance employment quality. This approach provides theoretical references and practical pathways for rural revitalisation in underdeveloped regions of Northwest China.
